Ted Polhemus

Anthropologist, writer, photographer, lecturer and consultant, Ted Polhemus has been using popular culture as a window on the world for 30+ years. His books include: Streetstyle, Fashion & Anti-fashion, Bodystyles and Style Surfing.

Fashion, style, design, pop music, body decoration - these are the things which give the vital clues to where we are at and where we might be going.
